Wine is good for you, and we finally know why. Wine drinkers are less prone to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia than non- wine drinkers. But what exactly is it about wine that keeps us healthy? Which is better for you, a California Cabernet or Syrah from the south of France? How can you choose wines that both suit your tastes and benefit your health? In a landmark study, Roger Corder revealed that compounds called procyanidins are the key components of wine for preventing illness. Now, in The Red Wine Diet, he argues that drinking the right kinds of red wine and eating procyanidin-rich foods such as dark chocolate, apples, and berries can help us live to a ripe old age-while enjoying all the pleasures of life. Corder's own tests show that, as a result of grape variety, wine-making style, and other factors, some red wines contain much higher levels of procyanidins than others. With a unique personal rating system, he describes the most beneficial wines he's found to date. And to round out his lifestyle plan, he includes fifty delicious recipes featuring foods that are high in procyanidins. Corder's prescription is an easy pill to swallow: Drink red wine every day and live a long and healthy life.

"Meticulously researched history…look[s] at how wine and Western civilization grew up together." —Dave McIntyre, Washington Post Because science and technology have opened new avenues for vintners, our taste in wine has grown ever more diverse. Wine is now the subject of careful chemistry and global demand. Paul Lukacs recounts the journey of wine through history—how wine acquired its social cachet, how vintners discovered the twin importance of place and grape, and how a basic need evolved into a realm of choice.

Fully updated throughout and with a new foreword for this edition. Why do most diets fail? Why does one person eat a certain meal and gain weight, while another eating the same meal loses pounds? Why, despite all the advice about what to eat, are we all still getting fatter? The answers are much more surprising - and fascinating - than we've been led to believe. The key to health and weight loss lies not in the latest fad diet, nor even in the simple mantra of 'eat less, exercise more', but in the microbes already inside us. Drawing on the latest science and his own pioneering research, Professor Tim Spector demystifies the common misconceptions about fat, calories, vitamins and nutrients. Only by understanding what makes our own personal microbes tick can we overcome the confusion of modern nutrition, and achieve a healthy gut and a healthy body.

If you are looking to lose fat and NOT feel like you are living on prisoner rations and treadmills...you have come to the right place! I'm here to tell you about - what I consider to be - a realistic way for you to "have your cake and eat it too." Now that's kind of an ironic cliche to describe a "diet book," so I better explain... I may be a Certified Nutritionist and in fact, I've been a Certified Strength Coach for 30 years, but I'm still 54 years old and still fight the same battle everyone else does when it comes to losing fat or simply maintaining a healthy body weight. And just as importantly, I want to have a life and enjoy the company of friends and family along the way. I love wine. I love sharing a bottle with friends. I enjoy the taste. The warm, relaxing feeling it gives me after a long day battling at work...red wine especially. So many varieties... As I have aged, I have definitely migrated towards the wine mindset and away from the beer drinking pattern of my younger years. It's not that I don't enjoy a cold beer on a hot summer day, but... Over time I have realized the choice of red wine has distinct advantages. But, just like you, I've got to watch my waistline, too. And as an expert on nutrition and exercise, I understand the need to balance guilty pleasures with a healthy lifestyle. But is red wine REALLY a guilty pleasure? Let's state right up front what this book will do for you. In "The Red Wine Diet" you will discover: How to CRUSH the obstacles holding you back... The SECRET behind a winning mindset... The REAL scoop of the health benefits of wine... A list of ADDICTIVE FOODS YOU MUST AVOID... Over the past few decades I have seen it all. And I have 'poured' all of what I have learned into this book."
